does somebody have a configuration for shield tv for this? like to use it with matrix. thanks in advance

After much experimenting and not being able to discover any ROMs on an SMB share (via libreelec on Matrix) I’ve tested via the local sdcard and I can discover ROMs!
Is there a known issue with SMB shares? My collection is held there and far exceeds the SD card in my rpi4.

I've talked to Tracy on mobygames he said if the API key has + in its need urlencode he said it should be included in the add-on your using. I just done it myself and copy pasted it into settings.xml and it works

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - domb84 - 2021-08-20
Hi @Wintermute0110, great work on AEL. I've been trying to use it with LibreElec but ROM scanning doesn't work via SMB shares. Is this a known problem? Logs supplied above this post. I can browse/load ROMs via the Kodi file manager without issue, so it's not a credential issue. Many thanks!

I got it working but it doesn't scrape screenshots (snaps) or fanart it doesn't find them on moby games any ideas?

RE: Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi - tillaz87 - 2021-08-22
Sorry for asking again on here but I'm not having any luck on the skinning threat I've nearly finished my mod of the sauna view bit two things I can't figure out?
1. see in in the video how my boxback slides out this is just done with a delay. Is there any way I can trigger this animation with a button press? Like button X on gamepad?
2. When selecting the game to launch is there any way I can trigger an animation to makey fan art full screen.
So basically is there any way can trigger an animation with a key press? and trigger an animation when a item (game) is selected / pressed.
Any help at all would be really appreciated I've googled for days with no luck at all.
Video of my view

Has anyone got ROM scanning to work on an SMB share at all? It returns 0 results via SMB despite being browsable. Local storage works without issue.

Think I found my own answer here. It doesn’t support remotes via kodi, only if you mount the shares via fstab or autofs etc.

Sorry for the late response. AEL supports artwork on remotes for some operating filesystems, only for UNC paths. If you like the technicalities, AEL uses the Python API for dealing with filesystems and in some operating systems Python is able to use the UNC paths. Kodi also understands UNC paths so it's OK to have artwork in remote windows shares.
ROMs, on the other hand, must be on a local filesystem. Note that you can mount a remote filesystem to look like it's local, for example on Windows you can "map a remote share" and in Linux you can use tools such as fuse sshfs. In this way, you can still use AEL having your ROMs on a remote filesystem, for example in a NAS.

It might be worth noting somewhere in the wiki that AEL doesn't support remotes/smb through the standard Kodi mounts as it was hard to find any information on in it in this forum and being able to run ROMs from something other than an SD-card must be the norm surely?
On another note, I have all my ROMs in AEL. However, no controllers work in PCSXRearmed. I can go through through and map all the buttons via the context menu, but nothing works. Is this a common issue?

Is there any way to use your notification for "launching" as a condition so the condition is specific to this notification only?
Rather than this below.
Window.IsActive(DialogNotification.xml)
At the moment every AEL notification is triggering my animation to show splash screen while the game is starting.
